Antique Humidor questions & pictures

1. When was it made?

Complete guess pre 1950's because its copper lined.

2. Who made it?

No idea. Could be just the local furniture maker, any markings? Signature, numbering etc?

3. What's it worth?

I'll give you a dolla!

4. How was it used / copper lined?

It is a humidor. Before cedar was used copper was a common lining in humidors. Shoud still be usuable as a humidor as is.

5. Can I have a cedar box built to fit inside?

You could but then you'd ruin the antiqueness (is that a word?)

6. Who can build it for me?

Find a wood worker in town. Or just buy some cedar. I personally wouldn't though. Its cool looking.

7. It's in pretty bad shape, should I have it refinished?

The exterior? Why not. Sand and refinish. Might even find a clue to origin if careful. Just don't store cigars in their while a staining or drying. Might get into the cigars.
